My daughter works at a bank in Canada and she was issued a Macbook.
replysurprising! what i know of canadian banks is admittedly little, so they might be moving faster than the banks i am familiar with. may i ask what department? do you know if it is managed by intune?
replyI don't know much. She isn't allowed to talk about any operational details. She just started there a few weeks ago.
